"Talking"

'Thinking'

*Sound*

"Attack name!"


Natsu slipped to the side to avoid a flaming punch from Erza before sweeping at her legs. She jumped back and her cheeks grew big. Natsu grinned and he prepared himself. "Fire Dragon's Roar!" Erza let loose a breath attack that was decent size and Natsu pulled his hand back before punching it. The blast was destroyed and cinders flew everywhere. Natsu blasted through the smoke and cinders, punching at Erza. Erza ducked and went in for a flaming uppercut but Natsu caught it and expertly maneuvered her around to where her back was against his chest.

"You are constantly getting better Erza, soon you will be able to kick my ass." Natsu said with a proud grin before pecking her on the lips. She kissed back and they pulled back. Natsu hugged her tight. "Now, how about we take this fight to the bedroom?" Natsu whispered in her ear and she blushed lightly before grinning seductively. "To the house!" Erza yelled and she grabbed his hand, running off in a random direction. Natsu grinned but his grin faded when he caught the sound of a slight chuckle. "What the?" He asked out loud and Erza gave him a confused look.

"What's the matter?" She asked and he smiled softly at her. "Sorry, I thought I heard something, let's go." He picked her up bridal style and he jumped into the air. She giggled as the wind tickled her nose. When she had met Natsu she had been so absorbed in her own mind and issues… but now she was so open with her emotions and she shared them with everyone. "I love you Natsu…" He grinned as they narrowly slipped through a window. "I love you too Erza." He said and he placed her on the bed.

"Now, about that battle." He said with a seductive smirk. Erza matched his smirk with her own and motioned with her hands in a 'Comeon' Motion. "Bring it on."


-Somewhere Else-


"We have located Natsu Dragneel my lord." An evil laugh was heard. "Good, we begin the attack in exactly two months."

"Yes my lord, we shall begin preparation for revenge." Another evil laugh was heard and the minion left the dark room. "Soon Natsu, we shall settle this, once and for all."


-Back with Natsu and Erza, The next day.-


Natsu sat at the bar with Gildarts while Erza happily conversed with an older Wendy and Mirajane. It had been four years since that final fight with END and it had been smooth sailing. Natsu was steadily getting stronger and he had earned the title of Fairy Tail's Ace. Erza was the strongest woman in Fairy Tail and Mira was a runner up with Wendy just behind her. Wendy had made S-Class and Romeo was dating her. Carla was with Happy and they had a kitten two months prior.

Makarov had retired as master and Laxus took his place. Gray had made S-Class and so had Lucy but Lucy was rarely around anymore. She was always in the celestial spirit world with Loke.

Natsu grinned as Erza sat next to him. "Hey Love, What's up?" Natsu asked and she giggled at his childish antics. "I am going to get cake and you are coming with me." She said forcefully and he nodded. "Ok, let me finish my drink and we can leave." She nodded and she walked back to the table with Mira. They began to talk and Natsu spat out his drink quietly as Mira brought up a specific topic. He could practically feel the blush coming off of Erza. She had asked. "How is Natsu in bed?" Erza cleared her throat and tried to change the subject. Natsu began to listen closely. "Cough it up Erza, Laxus is a good lay." Mira said with confidence.

Erza finally submitted. "Fine, you win." Erza sighed. "It's the greatest thing I've ever felt." Mira giggled. "I know that much, what I want to know is something else, how big is his…" Erza blushed heavily. "W-What n-no! I refuse to tell you that!" Mira giggled. "Laxus's is like this." Mira held up her hands and Erza blushed Natsu couldn't help but look over his shoulder. He grinned. Good for Laxus. "Really? I would have expected more?" Erza said quietly and Mira's eyes widened. "Holy crap are you serious?" Mira whisper yelled. Laxus was huge! Is Natsu seriously that big?

"Huh what?' Erza asked confused. "I didn't know Natsu was an actual dragon, how big is it? C'mon tell me!" Erza submitted and slowly held up her hands. Mira's eyes widened. "WHAT!?" She screamed and Natsu covered his ears. The entire guild looked at her. "W-What?" Erza asked. "That's colossal Erza!" Mira whisper yelled. She then looked at Wendy. "What about Romeo?" She shook her head. "Yeah there's no way I'm telling you that, I haven't seen it." Erza hugged Wendy to her chest, thankfully she wasn't wearing any armor. "So innocent and pure!" Erza yelled and she squeezed so tight that Wendy couldn't breath.

Gray then entered the guild with Juvia behind him and a small kid on his shoulders. It was a girl about three feet tall with waist length spiky blue blue hair, her eyes were like Grays. She was smiling happily as were Gray and Juvia. "Uncle Natsu!" The kid yelled and she jumped toward Natsu. "Crystal!" Natsu said and he caught her, spinning in circles. He threw he in the air and she laughed. "How's it been Gray? I know you were on vacation at the cottage that Ur raised you in." Gray nodded. "It was cool, we had fun." He wrapped a hand around Juvia's waist. "My dear Gray…" She said and she hugged him tightly. Natsu nodded. "Hey Erza, Are we going to get that cake?" Natsu asked and Erza nodded, grabbing his hand and letting him put Crystal down before charging out of the guild.

"What kind of cake are we getting?" Natsu asked and she smiled. "I have a craving for blueberry right now." He nodded. They entered the bakery and ordered the cake. They each had a slice and saved the rest for later at home and they went home. It was getting late actually. "You wanna get some late night training done? I'm itching for a good fight." Erza shook her head. "Not today, I'm really tired for some reason." He nodded. He wrapped her in his arms. "How about we take a shower then?" She nodded and they went into the shower. Natsu washed her back and she washed his.

After that they went to bed with Erza in her Pj's and Natsu in a black tee and blue shorts. He hugged her tight and they fell asleep on top of the blanket.

Two months flew by and Natsu and Erza began to stop training. Erza was putting on a little bit of weight but Natsu didn't care as long as she was happy. She was pretty out of shape, refusing to go on missions and refusing to train.

Natsu woke up and he heard Erza in the bathroom, she was vomiting. He immediately jumped out of bed and ran to her side. He held her hair and rubbed her back. "You ok?" He asked and she nodded. "Let's go see Porlyusica to make sure." She nodded and she glowed for a moment and she transformed into a simple black button up blouse and a white skirt with blue patterns. She was barefoot and simply told Natsu it was because she was hot. "I know." He said and she gave a small blush and giggle. "Idiot." He chuckled and he jumped through the air, slowing himself with fire.

They were in the forest. He knew that traveling like this was fast but it was boring for him, he didn't care about that if he was with her though. He set her down and she giggled as the grass tickled her bare feet. Porlyusica opened the door and when she saw them her looked turned into a frown. "What?" Natsu grinned at the bitterness of the elderly dragon woman. "Well, I figured that you would help Erza, she threw up this morning and I know that it usually wouldn't be a big deal but I just wanted to check, it feels like things have been going over too smoothly."

Porlyusica sighed and nodded. "Come in." They nodded and walked in. She told Erza to lay down and Natsu sat at her bedside. She put her hands over Erza and before she could even begin using magic her eyes widened. "Have you put on weight Erza?" Erza blushed. "J-Just a little bit."Stupid kids these days." She sighed and Natsu cocked his head. "You." She pointed at Erza. "You're pregnant." The room went silent. Erza looked at Natsu. Natsu grinned and picked Erza up by the waist. "I'm gonna be a daddy!" He spun her around and set her down, kissing her passionately on the lips. "I mean… if you want to have a kid?" Natsu asked her. Erza smiled as he always put others needs before his. "Yes Natsu." He grinned and he pressed his forehead against hers. "I love you so much." She giggled. "I love you too."

Porlyusica cleared her throat. "For the sake of the child I want you to come and check in every two weeks. Natsu and Erza nodded. Natsu bent down in front of Erza. "Get on my back." She complied and Natsu carried her out of the building. They began to walk through the forest slowly. "I know it's early but I can't help but think of names." Erza giggled lightly. "I feel the same way. What were you thinking?" Natsu looked forward. "I want something powerful, something that scares people when they hear her name like yours." Erza nodded. "Like Supernova or Apocalypse." Erza laughed and Natsu frowned. "What?" She sighed. "Natsu, It's not the name that matters, what matters is who is behind the name and what they have done. I could be called Apocalypse but if I was on like Lucy's level then it wouldn't matter." Natsu nodded. "True." They made it to the doorway and entered.

"I can have Gajeel, Wendy, Laxus, Cobra, Sting, and Rogue help me train them. Can you Imagine a Dragon Slayer with seven elements?" Erza nodded. "That would be amazing but she still needs to have the basic requip knowledge." Natsu nodded and set her on the bed. He glowed for a moment and he was in basic attire. He changed up his look when he made it to be Fairy Tail's Ace. He wore a red open vest with no sleeves. The vest had a familiar Wizard Saint Emblem and it had a dragon head in the right side of his torso. Under that he wore a simple black tee that was tight and defined his muscles. His pants were white and baggy and they were tucked into a pair of black boots.

His hair was slightly longer than before but it wasn't that much, His chin was slightly sharper and more developed. He had a long scar on his neck that he covered with his signature scaley scarf.

She glowed for a moment as well and she was revealed in a yellow dress that went to her knees and simple yellow sandals. The dress had a dragon head on the right side of the torso. It had been four years since the proposal and they were married now, living together happily. She had gotten a dragon stitched into most of her clothing and armors. "You ready?" She asked. He nodded and he grabbed her hand. She wore the engagement ring, a promise ring, and the wedding ring. The promise ring was a simple silver band. The wedding ring was a gold ring with a dragon head looking up. Each of the dragon's eyes were red gemstones that seemed to glow with power. It had her name and Natsu's name etched into the inside.

They walked through the town toward the guild. They received smiles and love from all around. Things were great for the moment. They made it to the front of the guild. "Do you want to tell them or should I?" She smiled at his antics. "You tell them." He nodded. "Ok." They entered the guild. "Shut up!" Natsu yelled at the rowdy guild and they looked at them. "I have an announcement to make!" He jumped up the rail of the second floor with a hard look on his face. His look softened and he he grinned. "Erz-" The ground began to shake and he fell off, landing on his head. He stood up with a frown. "What the hell?"

He sniffed the air. It was the same smell as before. Then another one caught his nose. "Dragons?" He was answered with a roar. "I thought we closed the gate?" Erza said and Natsu shook his head. "Looks like an old friend reopened it." Natsu said with a sneer. On cue the door to the guild was blown off its hinges. In stepped a cloaked figure. "Jellal!" Natsu yelled and said figure nodded. "What the hell are you doing! You are going to destroy the world." He pulled his hood down. He was no longer calm and wicked, he was crazed and blood thirsty.

"Erza, get behind me." Natsu whispered. "Huh?" Erza was curious but she complied. She was surprised to see Jellal but she wasn't really. After she had seen him fly off that tower, she expected to see him immediately, he just took a little longer than she thought. Another roar shook the town. The guild got ready to attack him but Natsu called out. "Wait!" They stopped. Jellal was using death magic. Natsu knew this and he had stopped them. Natsu blasted toward him and Jellal grinned. This was what he wanted. Natsu punched at him and Jellal met him in the middle. A shockwave was created and Natsu was surprised as he was being pushed back.

Natsu pushed harder and his arm began to glow, surprising Jellal. His flames grew hotter and Jellal was thrown out the door. Jellal flipped to his feet and blasted toward Natsu. Natsu blasted toward him as well. "Laxus! Round up the other slayers!" Natsu called and Laxus frowned. "I give the orders brat! Wendy! Get the others." She nodded and entered dragon force. She flew off toward Sabertooth. Cobra had joined Sabertooth.

Natsu just had to hold them back until they arrived. Zeref stepped out of the guild and the fighting stopped as Jellal stared at him. "Y-you!" Jellal pointed at him. Zeref frowned. Another worshipper. "Zeref. I will kill you too!" He roared surprising everyone as his power increased tenfold, making it almost impossible to breath even for Erza. Natsu looked back at her and smiled. He mouthed to her. "Just be careful please." She nodded at him. Natsu enter Dragon force and matched Jellal's power.

The ground shook with their power and the others were literally being pushed back. Natsu blasted toward Jellal and punched at him Jellal crossed his arms and he was pushed back. They began to trade blows at extreme speeds. Laxus got on top of the guild. Their were dragons covering the sky. He roared and entered Dragon Force. The sky was covered in lightning and the lightning began to strike the dragons. Dragon's began to fall. Gajeel was blasted up by a gust of wind from Levy's script magic. He landed on top of a Dragon and he began to fight. He punched one in the gut and it began to descend. "These Dragon's aren't that strong." He said and he jumped. He began to emanate black power. He entered Shadow Steel mode. "Shadow Dragon's Steel Roar!" He yelled and he unleashed a breath attack on them. Dozens were blown out of the sky.

He was hit with a claw and he was blasted into the guild's roof. He landed on a table before shakily standing. He ran outside and he demanded Levy to do it again. She hesitantly did so. He was blasted toward them. "Laxus!" He yelled and Laxus nodded. "Gotcha!" Laxus blasted him with lightning. Gajeel roared. "Lightning Shadow Dragon's Secret Art! Adamantium Sword Edge!" He yelled and he pierced a dragon. A shockwave of Lightning, Shadows, and Steel Erupted, knocking more out of the sky. He landed on another one and it nose dived. He grimaced as he began to glow. He could barely stand. "Steel!" He heard and a large piece of steel landed in front of him. He took a bite before consuming the entire thing. He heard Levy scream and he turned around. Levy was being crushed by a dragon claw. He ignored the glowing he entered a forced Dragon Force. He was the only one that couldn't enter Dragon force at will now.

He blasted and severed the hand, pulling Levy with him. The sky was dark now like when they had fought Tartaros.

Managed to land a blow on Jellal and Jellal punched him back with just as much force. "Die!" Jellal yelled. "Meteor!" He glowed and he disappeared. "Fire Form." Natsu whispered. He was punched from behind but the punch just went through him along with Jellal. Natsu then turned solid and caught Jellal by the back of his head, forcefully slamming him into the floor. Jellal yelled in pain and Natsu stomped on him. "Why. Are. You. Always. Trying. To. Ruin. Her. LIFE!?" Natsu yelled as he repeatedly stomped on him. Natsu stood on his arms and his mouth filled with flames.

"Why?" Jellal asked and Natsu let him speak. "Why isn't my death magic working on you!?" Natsu grinned and he began to absorb the death magic. He breath it in and his fire turned black. "Deadly Flame Dragon's Roar!" Natsu roared and unleashed the breath attack on Jellal. He was blasted into the air by the force of his own attack and he landed on his back, almost out of magic power. He slowly stood up. His dragon force was fading. "U-Ugh…" He muttered as he began to fall forward. His eyes widened however and a hand that was covered in white magic and black magic was planted into his gut. He coughed up blood before flying back. He slid across the ground. They were in the forest and his head hit the base of a tree. He fell unconscious. "I knew you were worthless Jellal."

It was Rogue?

He went to continue his assault but a hooded figure stood in his way. Then another one fell from the sky and landed next to the figure. Then two more. One more landed beside Natsu. It was Wendy, she began to heal him. He groaned and opened eyes. "Just in time." He said and she smiled kindly. "We have to be careful with this guy, he beat Natsu." Sting said and Natsu chuckled. "I kicked Jellal's ass and he came out of nowhere with a surprise attack." Natsu stood up and cracked his neck. "Who are you and why do you look like Rogue!?" Natsu yelled and the man began to chuckle. "Am I not allowed to look like myself? I'm from the future." Frosch jumped off of Rogues shoulder and future Rogues eyes widened. "So am I?" Came a deeper version of Lucy's voice. She removed the hood. He face was scarred up and Natsu could see that she was missing her arm.

He frowned. "So you are from the aftermath of the eclipse gate?" Natsu asked and she shook her head. He stepped closer to her and she backed up with a scared look. Realization hit him. "When does it happen?" He asked. "In five years." He nodded. "Tell me afterward." Future Rogue laughed and he disappeared. He reappeared in front of Sting and he kicked him in the gut. He then turned and punched Rogue in the face. "Why don't you come with me Frosch?" He asked and Frosch shook his head. Lector flew in and grabbed Frosch, flying away quickly "They got this!" Frosch slowly nodded.

Natsu punched Future Rogue in the face and he flipped back. "Arms!" Wendy chanted and Natsu grew stronger, entering Dragon Force. He blasted toward Future Rogue and he began to sink into the shadows. "Sting!" Rogue yelled and Sting yelled. "Yeah!" He grabbed Rogue and they sunk into the shadows. They rushed after Future Rogue. Future Lucy turned to Natsu Wendy, and Cobra. Cobra was silent. He was listening and waiting for any intel to help them in the future. "Explain when we get back to the guild."

She nodded and they began to run back toward the guild.

After getting back and Natsu explaining the situation to them they got ready to listen to Lucy. "My name is Lucy… Heartfilia. I am from seventeen years in the future and I am one of the only ones to survive the return of END." Natsu felt the said guy stir in his head. "I still don't believe it. He killed everyone in the guild beside me, Wendy, and…" She didn't continue. "And who?" Erza asked. "And Nova." She finished. Erza's eyes widened. "Who's Nova?" The guild began to ask. "I have an announcement to make." Natsu said and he stood on a table. "Erza is pregnant!" He yelled and the guild began to smile and cheer. "Calm down! We have to deal with this situation first!"


-In the forest-


"Ugh!" Sting yelled as Future Rogue caught him by the throat. Rogue was already unconscious, heavily bruised. "Perish." Future Rogue muttered and his hand glowed bright yellow for a moment. He pushed it toward Sting but he was interrupted as a foot connected to his face. He flew back and he flipped to his feet.

"What the!?"

In front of Sting stood a girl about Erza's height with pink mid back length hair. Her eyes were chocolate brown and she had a look of hatred in her eyes. She was scowling and glaring at Future Rogue. She wore a black closed vest, sealing her large chest and she wore baggy white pants. She had them tucked into a pair of black boots.

Around her were swirling elements that looked like they were battling to be used. He could see light, shadow, steel, lightning, poison, wind, and most of all was fire. He thought he could see some kind of black magic but it was faint. He stood up and examined her. She had a yellow Fairy Tail stamp on her left arm and on her right arm was a similar dragon symbol to what he had seen on Natsu's arm.

"Who are you!?" He yelled at her and she blasted toward him without saying a word. She punched him in the face and kicked him in the face with enough force to make him bend irregularly around her foot and send him flying like a rocket through two trees. He stood up and dashed toward her but she cut him off. She punched him in the face with a lightning fist before slamming her fist into his side and making him hunch over. She then summoned a sword in bright light and she plunged it through his back and into the earth between his legs. It was so far that he couldn't move. "Die." Was all she said in a dark voice. She turned and the elements disappeared. "Hello! I'm Nova!" She yelled and Sting stood up. "Nova? Are you from the future too?" She nodded. "I'm Erza's Daughter." Sting's eyes widened. "No wonder you look so much like-" She had a sword at his throat. "Don't you dare say his name." Was all she said and he hastily nodded.

Sting could feel the power pouring off of her. "It's been a while since I last saw you Sting, where I came from, you tried to lead an attack with my mom against END and you were struck down. I hear from mom when she got back that you were pushed to your limits when you fought END and you went toe to toe with him." He processed this information. "And what of… Erza in the future." Her look turned cold. "...He… Killed her." Sting nodded. "How do we prevent that from happening." She shook her head. "There's no stopping END." Sting scowled. "Are you kidding me!? You said yourself! I went toe to toe with that guy, you are stronger than me, Why don't you deal with him?" She shook her head. "In the future, you are on a godly level of power and Erza was just trying to help… him." He sighed and nodded.

"We should get Rogue and go meet up at Fairy Tail." She nodded and he picked up Rogue. "Here." She opened a shadow and they stepped in. They began to travel quickly.


-Fairy Tail-


"Hm?" Natsu muttered as he felt a strong power coming. "We have company, Whoever it is, Sting and Rogue are with them." Future Lucy sighed. "It's Nova, you might want to hide Natsu." He frowned. "Why?" Lucy shadowed her eyes with her hair. "She hates you." Natsu's eyes widened. That would make sense because based on what future Lucy said, Natsu killed all of them, including Erza." The door to the guild opened and said trio stepped in. Natsu laid eyes on Nova. He didn't say anything but he saw the cold glare she gave him. This girl was close to his level in power. "Nova!" Future Lucy yelled and she jumped toward her, wrapping her up with her arm.

Nova giggled. "Hey aunt Lucy!" Lucy grinned and she turned toward Sting. "Sting. Are you ok?" She asked and the ran to his side. He collapsed into her arms and she examined his wounds. He was heavily beaten and Rogue was in even worse condition. "Let's get them to the infirmary." Nova nodded and they carried them away. Lucy began to speak to Nova. "He's kinda weird without that nasty scar and massive power huh?" Nova nodded. "It's too bad future Rogue took most of it in the future or he probably would have beaten… y'know."

Nova disliked using Natsu, END, and especially dad. Lucy nodded. "We don't have time to worry about that. They exited the infirmary. Nova spotted Erza and Natsu. They shared a passionate kiss and they looked into eachothers eyes. They looked so in love. How could her mother love that monster so much? She had been told tales about the power monster her dad was. He was much stronger than she imagined. He would have beat END easily. So… why didn't he? He had to be evil, he probably gave up his body for free, he wanted those around him to suffer.

Her mom had told her about how hard he had fought to protect those around him and that he had died on more than one occasion. Apparently he had died and END took over in that time, killing all that he loved. She looked around more. "Uncle Zeref!" She yelled and she hugged him. He looked confused then it hit him. Technically she was his niece. He hugged her tightly. "MOM!" She screamed and she hugged Erza tightly. Natsu looked away and he spotted a light in the distance. He grinned. "Looks like Metalicana is here to play." Gajeel's dragon had reared its head.

"Looks like we have to deal with them and we are done for the day." Erza spoke up. "Doubtful, They didn't bring Jellal back with them." Natsu looked Nova deep in the eyes and she glared at him. "Look, I know you hate me but I don't want it to be that way, I need you to tell me exactly how I became END." She growled and nodded.

"Ok Natsu. First of all, you died. END then took the opportunity." Natsu processed this. "How did I die?" She shrugged. "Mom never shared that detail with me." He nodded. "I see. When the time comes I will find a way to prevent my death." Nova punched him. He didn't move but his head snapped to the side. "According to uncle Gray, you accepted your death. You died on purpose! You're an asshole!" He sighed. "I have to have had a good reason or I wouldn't have done that." She growled and went to punch him again but Erza caught the punch. This was a surprise to Nova because of to things. Her mom had the power to stop her punch, and she was defending this… Creten.

She pulled back and stormed into the other room. Natsu sighed. "So we are faced with a dilemma. If I die, nobody that's not evil is strong enough to kill me, we besides…" He looked at Zeref. "Erza, you're already pregnant, you already have my beautiful daughter in your body, I think we know what I need to do." Erza scowled. "No! We will find some other way around it!" Zeref sighed. "Natsu, Let me go into your mind and talk to him." Natsu slowly nodded. "Be careful Zeref." Zeref nodded and Natsu sat in a meditation pose. "I'll meet you in there." Natsu said and he closed his eyes.


-Natsu's Mindscape-


Natsu opened his eyes and he was back in the black void where he could see the reflection on the water. "END! Where are you?" He yelled out and footsteps were heard. "Calm down I'm here." Natsu glared at him. "Why did you take over my body in the future!?" Natsu yelled and END scowled. "If I did it must have been for a good reason! Don't you dare accuse me of betraying you again!" He roared at Natsu. "You tried to kill me before! Of course I believe you are plotting to take over my body!" Natsu roared back.

"Brother calm down, you are pulsating heat." Natsu sighed and nodded. "Let's get to the bottom of the crap." Zeref nodded. They looked at END who frowned.


Thanks for reading this Chapter! I know it's stupid but I would rather make a story where there are multiple parts of the book. I'm kind of branching off into my own storyline from the anime. To my loyal readers, thanks for reading for so long, I think that this may be the last book of the series. This is Salamander of the Fairy Tail Family: Book Four: Fighting for the Future! Don't forget to stop in, read, review, and follow/favorite. I love you all!
